CHARMING ACTRESSES.
The Lily Gives Place to the Rose-Stage
Trials and Triumphs.

Trials ana IrlunpnS.
There may have been a time, perhaps,
when the pallid lily was the type of female
beauty. 1t is not so to-day.
On the stage the most charming actresses
are women of robust health.
Mrs Langtry is the best matinee attrac-
ton on the stage, so managers say, be-
cause she is attractive to women as well as
to men. She is famous walker and an
accomplished athlete.
Two generations have ragged over the
beauty of Rose Coghlan. She is not pretty,
but she has the vigor of rude health.
Fanny Davenport was always fascinating,
and is stilla great favorite. AS Lady Gag
Speaker she would catch her D)ly in a
rapturous embrace and swing him three
times around her, his feet never touching
the floor.
Great surprise is often expressed that
actresses are able to preserve their health
and beauty, in view of the terrible strain of
their exacting duties upon physical and
mental force.
Jennie Kimball, the mother of charming
"Little Corinne," who has delighted lovers
of comic opera for many years, says, under
date of May 2Sth, 1887: 81 was exhausted
with my severe work and the doctors told
me to give up the stage Warmers safe
cure restored me. have never had better
health in my life, and whenever bad feeling
returns immediately resort 10 that rem
edy.n
Grace Hawthorne, the American actress,
now playing Theodore with great success in
London, Eng, IN a recent interview said:
II know how to remain in perfect health,
notwithstanding the nervous strain ] have
to nightly endure while playing. | use
Warmers safe cure, and it controls life and
health as nothing else WILL
Tho ronllV lrpat addresses in pmOtjOn1l
parts are those who utterly abandon their
own personality in the assumption of the
character portrayed. The strain they un-
dergo is one that few, outside of the profess
sion, can understand.
Maude Granger was obliged to abandon
the stage temporarily by reason of it, She
says: 'rhe suffering | then endured, and the
terrible condition ] was in, can only be ap-
preciated by those women who have under
gone the same experience. 1t was while
still suffering that l learned of Warmers
safe cure and began it's use. l have taken
it faithfully, and am happy to state that |
am now completely restored to health and
my usual vigor,n
Many break down under the strain and,
like Sara Jewett, totally give out. Physi-
clans prescribe opiates which, perhaps,
give temporary relIefonly to make the final
collapse more certain and complete. Others
are more fortunate and find in that great
remedy an influence which "controls life
and health" and, they are thus enabled to
succeed in their highest ambitions.

CHlEE OF STRANGLERS.
A Hideous Old Thug Tries His Terrible
Arts on Tourist.

A Hideous Old Thug Tries His Terrible
Arts on Tourist.
Many of the great criminals whoa
have seen bore in their faces terrible
warning Of what they were; but with the
Thugs of Jahapur it is not so. These hu-
man vampires who now gather round me,
saws a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, every one of whom has taken more
lives than any public executioner in
Europe, are to the outward eye set OF
quiet, slouching, meager old men, who
might be gang of beggars, group OF
harmless village folk, party OF super
annuated native workmen, or any thing
on earth but what they really are.
"That's the chief" whispers my guide,
pointing to a small, lean, gray beard, with
a white tur ban, who is sitting before the
nearest hut, rocking child on his knee,
and stroking its thin, little. brown face
with the hand that has shed tho blood OF
his fellow mon like water.
"Ask him." rejoin l, show many mur-
ders he has committed"
A momentary gleam Of cunning wrinkles
in his sunken eyes. The old tiger is evil
IDENTIFY suspicious, and stands on his
guard.
81 can not tell" he answers, with an in.
difference which, under such circum-
stances, has in it something indescribably
ghastlv. 81 didn't keep count of them be-
yond hundred"
snow, before we CO." says to our con-
ductor, 81 mean to see for myself how the
strangling was done. Oblige mo by telling
my
wrist, for don't care to trust him with
my throat"
The savage eagerness with which the
withered old skeleton obeys the call-as if
filed with fresh life by even the make.be-
lieve show of MURDERS fearful to see.
Knotting a small coin into the corner OF
his handkerchief to give him
sure hold, he slips the moose
round my arm and then, bringing his
knuckles together with sudden twist,
gives my wrist squeeze and almost makes
the bone crack.
The awful change that passes over his
face at this moment battles all de-
scrpton. His dull, fimsy eyes seem to
blaze with hell fire, his sharp, white teeth
are laid bare in wolish grin, his shriv-
eled, corpse-like features quiver with
ferocious joy so iendish that an actual
demon starting up before me could scarce
ly be more appalling. The thought of that
face bending over some helpless man in
the gloomy depths of the forest, just as
the fatal moose tightened, is altogether too
much for my nerves, and it is with long
breath of relief that find myself outside
the fatal inclosure once more.

Catarrh

May affect any portion of the body whore the

head Is by far the most common, and, strange to
saw, the most liable to be neglected. 1t originates
in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with
impure blood. The wonderful success Hoods
Sarsaparlla has had in curing catarrh warrants us
in urging all who suffer with this disease to try the
peculiar medicine. 1t renovates and invigorates
the blood, and tones every organ.

LYNXES WILL DO THE WORK,
To tho Editor of the "NeW York Times"

If the people of Australia who are
so troubled with rabbits will import
a few pairs of the Canada LYNX I
think their problem will be solved in
a few years. / understand they have
no members of the cat family larger
than FeliS dOmeSticms. The "bobcat"
is not large and ferocious enough to
be dangerous to humanity. Their
fnvorite food is the rabbit Cor hare)
OF Canada or Northern New England,
aud it is reasonable to suppose that
If they were placed where their natu-
raj s'IStenance existed in great album
dance they would 'incrcuse and mul-
tlplY and replenish the earth" until a
desirable equilibrium of the fauna
would be established. Now [ don't
ask anything for my advice, but it
strikes me that the above suggestion
may be Of value to a suffering people.
Perhaps the hunting leopard of India
or some other cat found in countries
nearer to them than Canada might
answer as we'll; but | am confident
that the lynx would do the business
for them.
